I
REGRET to inform you that Milo J.
Chase, the pioneer piano manufacturer
of the West, is very ill, having been struck
with paralysis a short time ago after his
return from his Southern trip. I under-
stand that Mr. Chase is not expected to re-
cover, and that his family have been tele-
graphed for. I have known Mr. Chase a
number of years, and have always enter-
tained the greatest regard for him, and it
is with sincere regret that I learned of his
dangerous illness.
E. W. Furbush, of the Briggs Piano Co.,
Boston, is on a trip through the Northwest,
having reached Chicago last Monday morn-
ing.
Chas. Tonk, who has been out here on a
business trip, left for the East on Friday,
accompanied by his brother Max.
Who can predict any limitations to the
business carried on by the Smith & Nixon
firm ? I hear they will handle the entire
output of the Martin Piano Co., the new
concern which started last spring in Roch-
ester.
Ground has been broken for the new fac-
tory of Julius Bauer & Co. Chicago still
continues to add to its already large list of
new factories.
Edmund V. Church is on a trip through
the Alkali Desert as far as Salt Lake City.
J. V. Steger is in excellent humor, and,
by the way, who ever saw Mr. Steger when
he did not wear that smile which betokened
that things were flourishing with him, over
the success of his Eastern trip. New
agencies mean more Stegers and more
Singers. He is prepared to furnish both.
A. J. Brooks, of the Sterling Co., Derby,
Conn., has been rounding up the Western
trade, and has descended upon this city.
The fishing season has not fairly opened,
but, nevertheless, Charlie Newman can tell
some pretty good fish stories—true, too.

The J. Haynes Piano
POSSESSES
J
INDISPUTABLE
MERIT.
ACK HAYNES has long been a
unique and original figure in the music
trade of this country. It has often been
remarked that he would never be entirely
satisfied with manufacturing but one line of
instruments,therefore we were not surprised
at the incorporation of the Muehlfeld &
Haynes Piano Co., which was incorporated
to manufacture, aside from the Muehl-
feld, in which he was interested, the J.
Haynes piano. This places the name of
the ubiquitous Jack on the plate of the
instruments, and the trade who know Jack
Haynes, and there are few who do not,
know also that he will take great pains in
having the instruments which bear his
name fulfill every statement made concern-
ing them. The Jack Haynes piano comes
neither in the high grade nor the low
grade. It is a "happy medium." The
Haynes pianos will be sold at prices which
are consistent with good workmanship. At
present they are manufacturing two styles,
and in all variety of woods, in mahogany,
oak, walnut, etc. The cases are double
veneered, continuous hinges, top and fall,
full iron plate, third and lock pedal,
bushed pin holes. The action is easy and
elastic and of a high grade. The size
of the instrument is four feet nine. A
glance at the above illustration will show
that they present a really handsome appear-
ance. Next week we shall have something
to say about the Muehlfeld piano. The
place of manufacture is No. 511 to 513 East
137th street, New York, where they have
a large and well appointed factory. A per-
sonal visit there will confirm the statement
which we make, that they are bus}'-, too.
If you have not time to run up to Harlem,
drop into the down-town warerooms at 20
East Seventeenth street, where you will be
sure of a pleasant greeting from Jack
Haynes.
ROBT. M. WEBB underwent another suc-
cessful operation on his eye last week. His
many friends hope this will result in a
permanent benefit.
Mr. Webb has been a
patient sufferer during the past year, but
in spite of his affliction, he has attended to
his business with regularity, and at the
same time preserved his usual good humor.
WOOD BROTHERS, of
Pittsfield,
Mass.,
have been selling the Emerson pianos for
the past few months, and they have given
such satisfaction that they have decided to
handle them permanently.
They placed a
large order with the Emerson concern last
week.
Two handsome Sterling pianos have been
purchased for the new Hotel Garde at New
Haven. Visitors cannot fail to be pleased
with the musical excellence of this instru-
ment.
